Prospective identification of tumorigenic breast cancer cells.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in United States women, accounting for >40,000 deaths each year. These breast tumors are comprised of phenotypically diverse populations of breast cancer cells. Using a model in which human breast cancer cells were grown in immunocompromised mice, we found that only a minority of breast cancer cells had the ability to form new tumors. We were able to ...
متن کاملVibrational Spectroscopy of Viable, Paired Tumorigenic and Non- Tumorigenic Cells
Infrared absorption of two pairs of non-tumorigenic and tumorigenic cells suspended in phosphate buffered saline have been measured. Suspensions of cells with several different growth cycle distributions were measured. The effect of both growth cycle and tumorigenity on the infrared absorption spectrum will be presented. For example, changes in absorption in the phosphate absorption region were...
متن کاملShed syndecan-2 enhances tumorigenic activities of colon cancer cells
Because earlier studies showed the cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan, syndecan-2, sheds from colon cancer cells in culture, the functional roles of shed syndecan-2 were assessed. A non-cleavable mutant of syndecan-2 in which the Asn148-Leu149 residues were replaced with Asn148-Ile149, had decreased shedding, less cancer-associated activities of syndecan-2 in vitro, and less syndecan-2-m...
متن کاملPro‐tumorigenic role of ERα in prostate cancer cells
importance of estrogen actions in the etiology of prostate cancer (PC) has been widely accepted following the demonstration that androgens, in combination with estrogens, can induce neoplastic lesions in the prostate [1]. The tumor microenvironment is crucial in this process since tissue recombination assays showed that stromal ERα is required for neoplastic transformation. The apparent lack of...
متن کاملProspective identification of tumorigenic prostate cancer stem cells.
Existing therapies for prostate cancer eradicates the bulk of cells within a tumor. However, most patients go on to develop androgen-independent disease that remains incurable by current treatment strategies. There is now increasing evidence in some malignancies that the tumor cells are organized as a hierarchy originating from rare stem cells that are responsible for maintaining the tumor. We ...
